Russell Brand Faces Backlash and Cancellations Amid Sexual Assault Allegations
Comedian Russell Brand has postponed the remaining dates of his "Bipolarisation" comedy tour in Britain after several women accused him of sexual assault. Brand denied the allegations in a video statement, but since the investigation was published by British news organizations, several organizations associated with him have distanced themselves. His publisher, Bluebird, has paused its work with him, and London's police force has received a report of a sexual assault alleged to have taken place in 2003. Brand has yet to respond to the latest allegation.
